Spring MVC app with SOAP web service using WSSpringServlet

Question

I have created a simple Spring MVC web application and trying to expose the services as SOAP based JAX-WS services using JAX-WS commons RI implementation.

After deploying my application on Tomcat 7, when I try accessing my web service, I get a message as 404 Not Found: Invalid Request. Below are my configurations, kindly help in resolving this.

web.xml

<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">

    <servlet-mapping>

        <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

</web-app>

WEB-INF/spring/appServlet/servlet-context.xml

    <beans:bean id="customerService" class="com.home.service.CustomerService" />

    <!-- Web Service definition -->
    <beans:bean id="customerWS" class="com.home.ws.CustomerWS">
        <beans:property name="customerService" ref="customerService" />
    </beans:bean>

    <wss:binding url="/ws/CustomerServ">
        <wss:service>
            <ws:service bean="#customerWS" />
        </wss:service>
    </wss:binding>

CustomerWS.java

@WebService
@SOAPBinding(style = Style.DOCUMENT, use = Use.LITERAL)
public class CustomerWS {

    private CustomerService customerService;

    @WebMethod
    public Customer read(long id) {
        return customerService.read(id);
    }

    public void setCustomerService(CustomerService customerService) {
        this.customerService = customerService;
    }
}

CustomerService.java

@Service
public class CustomerService {
    public Customer read(long id) {
        Customer cust = null;
        System.out.println("CustomerService.read invoked");

        return cust;
    }
}

pom.xml - included the dependency of jaxws-spring

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.jvnet.jax-ws-commons.spring</groupId>
        <artifactId>jaxws-spring</artifactId>
        <version>1.9</version>
    </dependency>

There are no errors while building or deploying the application. When I access the URL, still I see no errors in the server log files. However, the browser displays the message - 404 Not Found: Invalid Request

URL I am trying is - http://localhost:8080/crrs/ws/CustomerServ?wsdl

If I access my HomeController, it works fine. Home page is loaded as expected.

Appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to do the same thing. My code is almost the same, I'm just using @Name and @Inject instead of @Service.

Just added extends SpringBeanAutowiringSupport to the @WebService class and it's working
